REU Site in Novel Advanced Materials and Processing with Applications in Biomedical, Electrical and Chemical Engineering

伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校的这项为期三年的REU现场项目将在每年夏天吸引11名本科生参与工程中新型先进材料系统的尖端研究项目。具体项目将包括材料科学、生物工程、生物医学工程和纳米技术的独立研究。参与者将通过参加以下补充项目活动来扩大他们的研究经验：1)口头交流和技术写作研讨会；2)关于实验设计和安全工程的教程；以及3)对最新发展和最新科学技术的介绍。学生将从地区社区学院、少数族裔入学率较高的大学(即芝加哥州立大学和波多黎各大学)和全国各地的大学招收。该计划的目标是让80%属于代表性不足的群体和少数族裔的学生参与。这个REU项目将扩大参与者的创造力，激励他们考虑研究生项目，并促进未来工程工作所需的跨学科技术技能。“这个网站由国防部和NSF REU项目共同资助。”

This three year REU Site program at the University of Illinois at Chicago will engage eleven undergraduate students each summer in cutting-edge research projects in novel advanced materials systems in engineering. Specific projects will include independent research in materials science, bioengineering, biomedical engineering and nanotechnology. The participants' research experience will be broadened by their participation in the following complementary program activities: 1) oral communication and technical writing seminars; 2) tutorials on experimental design and safety engineering; and 3) introductions to recent developments and state-of-the-art science and technology. Students will be recruited from regional community colleges, universities with high minority enrollments (i.e. Chicago State and the University of Puerto Rico) and universities across the nation. The program aims to have 80% participation from students belonging to underrepresented groups and minorities. This REU program will expand participants' creativity, motivate them to consider graduate programs and promote interdisciplinary technical skills needed in the future engineering workplace."This site is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program."
